winter night’s velvet-soft silence
shaken…
startle-dark rumble of snow thunder births
frosty six-pointed stars in original designs
to flutter-twirl down…
graceful ballet dancers
dressed in dazzle-white tutus,
falling into drifts…
their collective diamond-glitter fluff reflects
as sun’s morning rays break into joyful applause!

Oh I love the way snowflakes look… if we could just look at its beauty more.

It has to be just right conditions to catch individual snowflakes on a mitten to look at…so intricate and delicate!

Maybe poetry is a snow globe, gazing at experience through a glass. The scene here is rendered so gracefully without the cold.

I couldn’t live in a snow globe, I’m not a lover of snow, but this is a lovely metaphor, Lynn: ‘winter night’s velvet-soft silence shaken’ and I love all the compound words: startle-dark’, ‘flutter-twirl’, ‘dazzle-white’ and ‘diamond-glitter’, and the way the ‘snow thunder births frosty six-pointed stars’. Applause!
